The best spot for cocktails in montrose (with the possible exception of Refuge upstairs). Always hopping but the high service model will allow you to get a proper cocktail quickly even when they are busy. It gets progressively louder as the night wears on. I usually like to go for their amazing happy hour where they have all of their "100 list" at half price. The signature cocktail "Pliny’s tonic" is always a winner.

Excellent cocktail bar. Five of us went at HH and wow, we got our money’s worth and more for some incredible cocktails. I tried the Vieux Carré, Godfather and a seasonal special with egg nog. I liked them all but the Godfather was my fav.

Top notch bar. The staff there are the best mixologists I've encountered. They go through a LOT of rigorous and technical training and they don't just accept anybody. High standards and great ambience with an warm casual environment. I have never been disappointed here, nor has what I wanted from a drink been misunderstood or not clarified. As a bartender myself I can get picky, but they sure hit it on the head every time.

Hands down the Best Espresso Martini I’ve had in all the states I’ve visited! I’m from Houston, but recently went on a trip touching numerous states, and I can honestly say this is The Best! Bartenders are friendly, attentive, and as quick as possible - it was surprisingly busy for 2pm on a Saturday! The hubs thoroughly enjoyed his Old Fashion as well! We’ll definitely back for more!

Anvil is one of those places that just gets it right. The second you walk in, the vibe is on point chill, fun, and full of good people. If you're looking to have a great time, be around awesome energy, and sip on some unreal cocktails, this is the spot. Trust me on this one-no notes needed. , The drinks are of the highest level, and the service is seriously top-tier. Massive shoutout to Mabel, Corey, and Manny the man🧍‍♂️ and the whole team. They’re all super professional, but still keep things relaxed and fun. You feel welcomed, taken care of, and honestly, like part of the place. There’s this younger, fresh energy that makes you want to stay all night. Whether you're out with friends or just stopping by, Anvil always hits. Keep it up, guys-you're doing something special. Can’t wait to come back. Best, Manny the honey 🍯🙏

Great drinks and great service. This bar offers some of the best cocktails in the city. All their bartenders are true professionals and even with it getting very busy do provide great service. The only downside about this place it is kind of small especially with how busy this place can get. You might have to stand to enjoy your drink but you will still have a great time.
